If the program dies or exits, it gets started again.  

Except in this case!
"If  init finds that it is continuously respawning an entry more than 10
times in 2 minutes, it will assume that there is an error in  the
command string, generate  an  error  message  on the system console, and
refuse to respawn this entry until either 5 minutes has elapsed  or it
receives  a  signal." -- init man page
